I didn't hate the drama, in fact I like the drama overall, but I just want to point out few things: 1. On-jo got bitten a bit by Hyeonju at the 1st ep but she didn't even became like a hambie or somewhat? I get it that she might've anti-bodies but they didn't bring it up at least once in the latter eps and it looks like even On-jo forgot about it already ... I just think bringing it up could've cleared up confusions about the show, and not leaving us hanging like that. 2. Jimin disappeared but no one looked for her. Yes, she was wrong for leaving Hyoryung instead of helping her but when she disappeared no one talked about her. The students just said that there are many people who already died so let's not lose anyone else anymore, they said this repetitively yet I feel like not looking for Jimin particularly means they didn't give importance to her, when she's with them all along. If I'm wrong and they did look for her, then sorry for skipping some scenes or not paying attention to every little detail, but I really didn't see this happen ... 3. Eunji and Gwinam sparring instead of Cheongsan and Gwinam, I think they just added it for the writers to have a reason for Cheongsan to die (or fake die somewhat). We need to see her revenge. 4. I know it's kinda possible for a vlogger to really appear if there really is a situation like this irl, but he didn't do anything here aside from running for his life and just became a burden to the police. I know he's just an extra but I think they could have and had the chance to make his character likable or interesting. 5. All adults in the school became zombies. I thought On-jo's father looked like someone who can survive in a big crisis like this, but they made him go through so much only to kill him few minutes after he reunited with her. I just saw rn that someone already pointed this out, but still-.
I've seen lots of clips in IG and this drama looked pretty good :D and Gina Jin is sooo pretty omo the last time I saw her onscreen was when You Are My Glory is airing ~
I've always liked NJH's acting since I've watched Moon Lovers, and KTR's acting in Mr. Sunshine got me goosebumps. Looking forward to the chemistry of this duo!
Girrrl, I feel you. It's been over a month since it's finished and I still can't watch any other dramas. They…
Totally. Though I still watched some dramas which just finished airing like Snowdrop and All Of Us Are Dead, those didn't made me so attached to them the way TRS did. T-T
No, this is so unhealthy. It's so unhealthy how I love this drama so much, to the point I will make some excuse to myself postponing watching an ep of a drama I'm currently watching just to spend some time reading all the every little details of the analizations people in SNS have about the The Red Sleeve, which is so not me. I have never done this even in my favorite modern dramas of all time, and I know myself as someone who enjoys modern dramas more ... How much did TRS impacted me?
Someone knows why she died? Did they say why she died? There are many things that I don't like about the ending…
In my own opinion, even though the drama didn't directly tell the reason, it was quite obvious. The novel explained more of Deok Im's point of view, but as the drama have just 17 eps, that's the reason why we didn't get to see more. In the drama, Crown Prince Munhyo who is Deok Im's birth son (1st child) died because of having measles, and based on history it was not long after her 1st daughter (2nd child) with San also died. We also saw in the drama how she can't even protect her best friend who also died. Aside from the consecutive loss and pain she had been through, her choice to be with San whom she loved also means loss of her freedom - because as a concubine, her only duty was wait for the king to arrive at her chamber and she can't visit as much time as she want those people dear to her, which really made her go downhill. Ever since the drama started, we already see how she wanted to protect her life being a court maid and just kept on wishing for everything not to change, for everything to be in that way forever. However, her love for San - who is ironically the exact person who even himself still had very limited choices despite having a great power after becoming the King - bloomed in her heart that's why it got shaken, and things already started to change before she realized it. After becoming a low-rank consort then Senior 1st Rank Consort Uibin, she kept on calculating and thinking what she gain and what she lose after becoming the concubine. Everything was so hard for her, yet she couldn't even mourn that long for the death of her children. It was most probably the grief accumulated in her heart which made her fell ill, and die sooner along with the baby in her womb (3rd child). Meanwhile some said she had liver cancer or unidentified illness, but I haven't found any facts about that so ... :D
I heard that after many years, MBC was finally able to get a high rating and got a 17% rating on this drama. I…
Yes, it is. Aside from the beautiful cinematography which everyone can enjoy, the plot is based on history and there are so many parallelism. I hope you'll get to enjoy the show as much as we did. ~ Anyways, please do share your thoughts about the drama while watching it or incase you already finished it!
I wanna watch this drama as some clips in instagram looked so cute and I told to a lot of ppl that I can come back in my cdrama slump if this turned to be great, but the viewers and ratings were lesser than expected so I started to get confuse again ... Based on the newest episode, should I really watch it?
An excellent thread worth a read to understand why Deok-im was extremely hesitant about accepting the King's favour…
What did I just read- π ... This is so heart-breaking huhu, she didn't deserve this π. She must be so lonely, :(( And the fact that it's not even impossible in their time, what if it really happened before? T-T Wait I just remember, a site said that she was still a tiny bit luckier than other consorts because she had a permission to see her family (brother) but other consorts can't ... But anyways, even with that little permission, everything must still be too difficult for her to bear :<.
I watched this last year and I'm in Ep50+ but I'm not able to finish the show as I didn't have time to continue it then Tao's bday last Thursday made me watch a lot of AIB-related contents in TikTok which just made me remember Mare welp T-T.
https://twitter.com/RedSleeve_CN/status/1489553412543086595THIS DETAIL IS WAY TOOO CUTE
OMG I just realized it now π I rewatched the drama 3x but haven't seen that little detail, and I learn how to read and write a few of Mandarin. One of the first characters I've learned is ζ (ai) which is 'love', but can't believe how I didn't notice that letter in that scene π
So, I rewatched the ep17 yesterday because I wanted to cry after watching those fmvs lmao, and San's "please, love me" still hit so hard T-T. My eyes became so puffy before finally being able to sleep, and I read a lot about San's history. I just've known yesterday that the real Jeong Jo died looking older than the scholars whom he often had a drink with (after the real Ui Bin died) were actually older than him, he died having some white hairs at 49 years old which made me burst out tears even more π.
